	<title>SolarNetOne Wants Stable Internet Connections For Developing Nations</title>

	<datestamp>1246545840000</datestamp>
	<htmltext>There are many initiatives to bring tech to developing areas of the globe; things like OLPC, Geekcorps, and UN programs.  One new approach from SolarNetOne strives to allow users in those developing areas to have <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-solarnetone/">access to an internet connection</a> without having to depend on unreliable infrastructure.  <i>"Each SolarNetOne kit is a self-powered communications network. Energy is produced from a solar array sized to each locale's latitude and predominant weather conditions. The generated power is stored in a substantial battery array, and circuit breakers and electronics protect the gear from overloads and other perturbations.  A basic kit includes five 'seats,' implemented as thin clients connected through a LAN to a central server. The networking gear also includes a long-range, omnidirectional WiFi access point, and a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) device. Each kit also includes all the cables and wires required to assemble the system, so few additional materials are required for an installation."</i></htmltext>

In rural areas there simply are not options , and because of low population with limited economic resources it is too expensive to provide it.The other problem that is an even greater issue is when the dam thing breaks , there are very very few people to maintain them .
If someone has sufficient know how to fix something like this , chances are they are working for someone that pays a lot more ( in local terms ) because there is high demand for very few qualified IT people .

<sentencetext>I have been working the IT related fields in Latin America for over 10 years, both rural and urban.
I have also spent some time teaching in China.One problem I see with this article is that it makes no mention of how they get the internet connectivity.
Is it sat?
Is it connecting to an existing upstream provider?

	<htmltext>The way I see it, this isn't so much a question of a digitial divide, but rather one of infrastructure.

It is much more cost effective to start off with a reliable internet connection over which you can deliver all other services (telephony, education services, etc), than outfit the area with, for example, shortwave radios and keep upgrading (to copper cable, then fibre, etc).</htmltext>

The potential for teaching techniques to people who might otherwise be illiterate (or only read and write in a language used by a few hundred people) could be very useful.</p></div>
